Okay, so basically it is like really joining the two fabrics and sort of make them one, instead of just sewing them onto each other (as with a sewing machine)?
What I also wanted to try eventually is to join the fabrics with Sashiko(?) this Japanese embroidery technique, kind of like the simplicity of it.
(so many ideas, again)
I just find there is a lot of beauty in a skill that is neat and clean after so many years on practice (like watching anyone doing a craft they master, kind of meditative to watch) ...but the mess and chaos is great to:D
Yes, exactly. You put it so much better than I could. 😂
Ohhhhhh, I don't know that technique. I'll have to check that out, thanks for mentioning. I love all the ideas you have.
I agree. I experience this process as a form of meditation. I have almost finished one pair now. I also love the chaos part.
...thats when it would be lovely to sit in an atelier together, sewing and talking about all the things that could be possible:))
It really would. I remember many days of being with others doing that more times than I can count in studios. Never in an atelier though.
Every so often, I keep thinking of you while making these leggings because of yours.
I looked into Sashiko and it's totally of interest. Funny enough, the patterns I'm making are all linear.
While doing all of this, I'm tempted to start carving a couple new pieces, one a walking stick (useful) and miniature sculpture in Japanese red coral. My hands want to be many working on many projects at the same time. 😂
...we should have more of them!😅 Maybe nine...?
I mean it's great to be around (physical) people while making things, but then already like that through Hive, it's awesome(I think I am still a bit surprised or amazed by that), I guess otherwise we might not have stumbled across each other sewing some leggings in opposite corners of this world:)
Nine hands, yes, that's fabulous 😂
I've found that chatting with others on Hive inspires me to do things, gives me ideas, and reminds of things I've forgotten about, such as how relaxing I find handwork like sewing, to be.
There's also no one around me who does things like designing, sewing, upcycling fabric, knitting, etc. It's enjoyable to have a place to share common interests. It's great food for the creative process.
Yes!!! I agree🙃
